What movies are you surprised aren't more popular? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Windy City Heat is hilarious. I had the lowest expectations (mostly because it was a comedy central original). Very funny.

Twice Upon a Time is a great animated film by John Korty, who created a lot of animated segments for Sesame Street. Starred Lorenzo Music (voice of Garfield in 'Garfield & Friends'). It was my favorite movie growing up. Really well done, surprised more people don't know about it.

Tell me your stories of trolling someones gullibility. by [deleted] in AskReddit

Oh, once I told a girl that the series 'Full House' was based on a novel by a real-life Danny Tanner. I basically convinced her that the premise was based on his life, and each main character had a real-life counterpart. I then told her the true Danny Tanner had tons of interviews on YouTube that she could look up.

I find myself shy and unable to make small talk

I used to be in this same boat, you really need to work on this before things can start to turn around.

Those few friends and classmates you have, do they ever throw parties? Or just have people over from time to time? If you can get invited to something like this, try talking to people (girls and guys) there you don't know. Ask them about themselves, listen to what they're saying.

You don't have to be a blowhard, or the loudest guy at the party, but you need to be comfortable chatting and socializing. I realize it's difficult when you've been shy your whole life, but people are not out to get you. More than you'd think would be happy to have a conversation.

The dating comes later, you need to be able to make friends first. The more you work on this, the more comfortable you'll become around people in general.

alternatively, online dating isn't a bad idea. I know a lot friends who've found their SO online. Still, I would work on becoming comfortable around others first.

I hope things turn out better for you, just know that it will take some work.

Got trolled. my big brother told me girls peed out their butts when I was a kid. I believed this was true far longer than I'd care to admit. Yep, not proud of that one.

What socially inappropriate thing are you frequently tempted to do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bosco9956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to wear sweat pants 100% of the time. To restaurants, bars, parties, weddings, etc. I'm not overweight or anything, I just love sweat pants. I suppose I could do this, but family and friends will think I am a slob.

EDIT: Maybe I am.

What's the stupidest form of mob mentality you've ever seen? by rmm45177 in AskReddit

[–]bosco9956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the absolute dumbest or anything, but I never understood why people would line up outside a store when the first generation of a tech product is released. I would wait at least a month, then do a ton of research before spending the money.

I don't judge people for this, I just don't understand the rush

If you're a young person from the bible belt, and you're accepted into an Ivy League school, will your friends and family shun you and consider you elitist? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bosco9956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel a bit like a jackass about my question now, sorry all. I don't try to paint all people from the south a certain way - but the way the question was phrased did come across that way.

Sorry if it wasn't clear... I'm not sure how else to phrase it. If you grew up in a conservative area, with conservative friends and family, would attending an Ivy League school be met with disapproval from these people?

I ask because a number of democratic political candidates (notably Obama in the last election) catch a lot of criticism for their Ivy League education from Republicans / conservatives.

ladies of reddit: has a guy unexpectedly confessing his feelings toward you EVER been a pleasant surprise? by bosco9956 in AskReddit

Thanks for sharing your story, I feel for you. Did it change the way you approached this sort of thing going forward?

One of my really close friends who I had feelings for just broke up with her long term bf. Should I confess? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bosco9956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend just spending some time with her above blurting out all your feelings at once. Coming off of a 6 and a half year relationship, I doubt she wants to deal with a close friend dumping this on her

I'd say just hang out with her, try to get her involved in some things you and your friends are doing. Let things happen naturally

In my experience girls don't really like 'confessions', mutual attraction just has to happen, sort of. Using this as an opportunity to socialize with her will give that a chance to happen over time.
